Deuter Orbit 800

£50.00

The low price tag of this 3-season synthetic sleeping bag makes it ideal for those on a tighter budget. It is rated as having a  -1 deg C comfort limit but it feels warmer than other bags with this rating, so is fine for 3-season use. You get a substantial shoulder baffle and a substantial zip baffle to trap the ...

Berghaus Arête 45 2008

£50.00

The Arête 45 is a wonderfully simple and functional rucksack, and at only 1045g it deserves to be high on the wants list of anyone heading to the hills. The sack has a simple padded back system, hipbelt and shoulder straps that allow you to throw it on your back and forget about it. The back is stiff enough to ...

Karrimor Airspace 30

£50.00

This daysack is similar to a technical climbing ’sack in concept with no unnecessary clutter and a clean, streamlined profile. The back system is adjustable, with shoulder straps you can alter at the top, a chest strap and hipbelt. The pocket on the body of the pack is comfortably OS map-sized. Plastic lugs and adjustable elastic allow for walking poles ...

£50.00

Vango has always been a brand that you can rely on for coming up with superb-value products – and the Stealth rucksack is no exception. You get a well-padded back system that can also be adjusted for length. This has good stiffness to make packing easier. The body is a simple single compartment with a useful front pocket that is ...

Berghaus Mule 80

£55.00

For the extra few pounds on the price of this kit bag, you get a little more durability and features, but also a lot of extra weight. The bonus is the internal compartments, the external end pockets and the chunky fittings. All the zips can be locked, and the handles can be converted into rucksack-style shoulder straps.    Capacity: 80 ...

Contour Track

£55.00

These multi-activity shoes from Contour are very comfortable, with padded mesh uppers and a secure fit. The stiffness in the midsole and fairly high ankle cuff provide good support over most types of terrain, and there is adequate protection at the toe and heel. The Tracks are quite heavy, mainly because of the chunky sole and extra padding on the ...

Vaude Triset 35 + 8

£55.00

This daysack from Vaude has adjustable shoulder straps that help it to mould sweetly around your back, and the Aeroflex concave back system is cool and comfortable. You hardly know you’re carrying it, even when full, and the padded waist belt is excellent. This is a roomy pack, but the compression straps make it easy to tighten everything down when ...

The North Face Terra 35

£60.00

This daysack from The North Face fits well and you’ll enjoy carrying it. But it needed careful packing when very full, as it is easily pushed out of shape so that the actual back of the pack makes contact with you, rather than the foam padding. The Terra is a good size for weekend trips, and the choice of pockets, ...

Berghaus Freeflow 30+6

£60.00

The design of this daysack is useful if you are away overnight as it uses a zip-out/Velcro inner section to split the pack into two. Access is gained via the pocket at the base, while the Velcro allows you to carry tent poles even when you are using the divider. The back system is well-vented and has soft, mesh-filled shoulder ...

Millet Prolight 35

£60.00

The price of this 30-40 litre rucksack makes it particularly appealing, especially as you can buy more expensive sacks that are not so good! At 1370g it is a reasonable weight. I particularly like the lid with its single-buckle closure and its gusset panel that allows the lid to be raised for overloading the sack without allowing rain to enter. ...

Berghaus Freeflow III 35 + 8

£60.00

This daysack from Berghaus is very comfortable. You’ll hardly notice you’re carrying it – even when fully loaded – which says a lot about the Freeflow back system. However, it does carry the load away from the back, which can affect stability. The 35+8-litre capacity sounds huge, and it’s superbly featured, with everything you could wish for, including excellent pockets ...

Mountain Equipment Wet and Dry Kit Bag 70

£70.00

The use of 1000 denier rubberised tarpaulin in this kit bag should have ensured durability, but in our puncture tests the fabric was disappointing. However, the inclusion of an internal compartment for damp or smelly kit keeps your gear fresh. Oversized handles allow the bag to be carried as a rucksack, while a removable shoulder strap is also provided. The ...

Jack Wolfskin Cross Terra 30 2009

£70.00

The Jack Wolfskin Cross Terra 30 is a comfy, robust, simple rucksack for ladies (the men’s version is the  larger Cross Terra 36) with a short back length and narrow shoulders. It is packed with features walkers want. This, combined with its specific women’s fit, makes it a finalist. The back length would suit shorter frames and the contoured shoulder ...

The North Face Aleutian

£70.00

At 1469g (without stuffsack), this 3-season synthetic sleeping bag is a very lightweight option and at £70 it is also well-priced. It is rated as having a -2 deg C comfort limit, but feels a little warmer so it should be fine for 3-season use. It uses overlapping shingle construction, which means cold spots will be less of a problem ...

Trangia 25-8UL/HA

£75.00

Trangia meths stoves are extremely well-established and are unbelievably simple to set up and use. The meths burner sits inside a housing that acts as a windbreak and pan support. Once assembled the Trangia is exceptionally stable, and unlike most stoves actually works better in the wind. The Trangia comes with three pans and a kettle; in this version the ...

Lafuma Otava

£75.00

Like most multi-activity shoes , the Otava has a Gore-Tex XCR waterproof lining, and at this price it has to compete with many similar models. However there are some slight benefits to this shoe over others. Notably the upper has leather reinforcement around the lower edges, to add vital durability when crossing rock and scree. The toe gets reinforcement too. ...

Osprey Kestrel 38

£75.00

Osprey regularly comes up with fresh ideas, so it is perhaps of no surprise to find some unique features on this 30-40 litre rucksack. Most interestingly of all is the Stow on the Go trekking poles holder system that allows poles to be attached to the shoulder strap and body of the sack in seconds, say when you need to ...

Garmont Dragontail 2009

£75.00

The Garmont Dragontail is a multi-activity shoe based on the ‘crag approach’ use of multi-activity footwear. So it gets a good, stiff sole unit with sticky rubber to provide great grip on rock as well as being stiff enough to stand on edges easily. A smooth climbing zone around the toe is ideal for more technical climbs. There is good ...

Contour Navigator

£75.00

This 3-season  boot has been a regular runner-up in Trail tests as there is little else to beat it at the price, or a higher price if you are a hill-walker. The upper is made from a very stitch-free top quality leather, so it is very water-resistant if looked after properly and also very durable and ideal for tackling on ...

Deuter ACT Trail 32

£79.00

The ACT Trail is a nice simple 30-40 litre rucksack with a few neat extras. It weighs in at 1350g, which is fine. The material is tough and the design easy to use. There is one main compartment with an additional front access panel. The lid is a single-buckle design for fast and easy closure. On the front you get ...

Wynnster Down 450

£80.00

A low-bulk sleeping bag from Wynnster that provides surprising warmth, making it ideal for three-season use. The hood and the chunky shoulder baffle were impressive, with stud and drawcord fastening. The shell fabric feels a little flimsy, but the water-repellent finish does its job well. It’s quite long, which will suit taller campers.

Berghaus Freeflow 35+8 (2011)

£80.00

A great pack for all-round walking, with an extra eight litres of expandable capacity for when you need to carry a bit more kit. The Freeflow back system is excellent, with minimal contact across the majority of the back and excellent padding in areas where it’s needed (hips and shoulders). The padding around the waistbelt is solid enough, and extends ...

Black Diamond Speed 30 2009

£80.00

The Black Diamond Speed 30 is a well-designed rucksack that will see you through summer and winter. However – though it’s light, 1006g design makes a good walking pack – its features are more suited to those at the mountaineering end of the scale rather than hill-walkers. The sleek cut (with no side pockets) and light weight sees to this, ...
